Villa Carolina

The villa

A Riviera villa made for long summers

Set on the green slopes above Cannes, Villa Carolina looks out over the whole bay: the town, the islands and the red peaks of the Esterel on the horizon.

The house pairs the arched windows and pale stone of a traditional Provençal villa with bright, generous rooms. At its heart is a glass-walled garden room where a long dining table sits under a crystal chandelier, with the pool just beyond the doors.

Outside, wide limestone terraces wrap around the pool and run down to a manicured lawn. Loungers face the sun, the dining table looks out over the bay, and the panoramic terrace upstairs is the obvious spot for a glass of rosé at sunset.
